Apologize.

"M-M-M-Mx. C-C-Cross! I-I-I-I'm s-s-s-so sorry! I-I didn't m-mean to sn-snap! I-I'm so so-sorry, M-Mx. C-Cross!" Sven sobbed.

"I know."

"What..?"

"I know you didn't mean it," Carol cooed. "I know you were just angry and heartbroken because Burt didn't return your feelings. And... I wasn't going to shoot you. I just needed you to be able to reach deep enough into your emotions do be able to become strong enough to say sorry."

"Th-Thank you, M-Mx. C-Cross-"

"Call me Carol."

"Th-Thank you, Carol... Tack... Så mycket..." Sven whispered.

"Oh, c'mere, prinsesstårta." Carol smiled and embraced the Swede.

Sven hugged them back tightly, crying even harder.

It was minutes before Sven and Carol broke away from each other, big grins plastered on their faces.

"Alright. Sven Svensson is still our leader." Carol bowed to the Swede. 

"And you're still my Right Hand Person," Sven murmured.

"And you're still my girlfriend!" Carol swooped up Hat Girl into her arms. "Aren't you, my little nova?"

Hat Girl giggled. 

"And I'm still your head of communications, no?"

Sven froze and turned to the doorway.

It was Burt.

"B-Burt..." Sven whispered.

"Look, Sven, I'm... I'm so, so, so sorry..." Burt quickly walked up to Sven and took his hands in his own. "It's not your fault your father killed my parents... None of this is your fault, it's all mine."

"None of this is your fault either, Burt." Sven cupped Burt's cheek in one hand and stared into his amber eyes.

"Oooh~!" Carol and Hat Girl teased from the background, but Sven didn't even care.

Burt and Sven stared at each other for a moment, mouths relaxed and a bit open, before they, at the same time, pulled the other closer and kissed them.

An eruption of cheering and applause went up from Hat Girl and Carol.

Sven, embarrassed, backed up.

"I-I-I-" he stammered.

Burt narrowed his eyes.

He entangled his fingers in Sven's hair almost aggressively, yanked him back into his chest, and kissed him again.

"Mmph!" 

Sven's squeak was muffled, but no more than a second after Burt surprised him, he melted into the kiss, hands rested on his shoulders.

After they gently moved away slightly, Sven spoke.

"No, Burt, you're not my head of communications," he said. 

"Oh..." Burt looked down.

"You're my boyfriend." Sven smiled. "I mean... If you're ready for that... Commitment..."

"Normally, I'd say I wasn't," Burt replied. "But, since it's with you, I'll be ready for any commitment with you."

"Kiss!" 

Sven looked over to the side a bit to see Melody on Carol's shoulder.

"If you insist." 

Burt smirked and doubled Sven over back.

Their lips met.

Again.

For the fourth time.

But they weren't tired of it, or sick of it, or annoyed with it.

They welcomed the kiss with open arms and open mouths.

(This ending is called, "Regained Everything (RE)" and is the fluffiest ending. Well, the next one is kinda fluffy too... You'll have to see. Also, this is the ending the story follows!)
